Chapter 55 Going to Town
This morning, when Shu Yu was in the county town, he heard that officials from above had come to the capital of Dong'an Prefecture.
Although the Shu family will not be exiled for another three months, the investigation should begin now. As the prefect of Dong'an Prefecture, Master Shu is already overwhelmed with dealing with officials from the capital.
The magistrate of Jiangyuan County, who follows the lead of the Shu family, will probably not have an easy time in the coming days. He will be too busy to cover up his crimes to care about such trivial matters.
This is why Shu Yu dared to confront the Ruan family so openly; she wanted to teach them a lesson and show everyone that the Lu family was no longer the easy-to-bully Lu family it once was.
Besides, someone like Granny Ruan wouldn't dare report it to the authorities; she'd just give her a verbal threat.
As Shu Yu passed by Granny Ruan, he suddenly squatted down and whispered, "Don't be anxious. Your suffering and my revenge are not over yet."
Damaging a little of the Ruan family's property is hardly considered revenge.
Granny Ruan's expression changed slightly as she watched Shu Yu walk out of her house.
She suddenly stood up, pointed at her back and shouted, "You unfilial slut! A shrew like you will never get married in your life. No one will marry you!"
Shu Yu pretended not to hear. She had never thought about getting married, not in her past life, and not in this life either.
She didn't stop, and Granny Ruan was still cursing, "And Sanya, and Dahu, they will all be dragged down by you and remain bachelors for life."
Shu Yu scoffed. How could someone like Granny Ruan's family get married? Their Da Hu and San Ya are well-behaved and sensible; they'll only live a peaceful and happy life.
Old Mrs. Ruan had been cursing until her throat was dry, but the other party remained unmoved, which even attracted the villagers' frequent glances at her.
Granny Ruan finally stopped. No, the village chief wouldn't stand up for her; she had to think of another way.
Yes, go find the Yu family. The Yu family is rich and powerful. Surely they can handle the Lu family?
However, what she didn't know was that someone had done it before her.
As soon as Shu Yu stepped out of the courtyard, Lu Sanzhu followed, forcing a fawning smile on his face. Despite being an elder, he trailed behind like a follower.
Shu Yu glanced at him, and the latter was startled by her gaze. He hurriedly explained, "I, I did tell you to be careful. I didn't run in to help you because I saw that you were indeed capable of dealing with those people, so I didn't want to go in and hold you back."
Shu Yu smiled but didn't say anything more.
Upon reaching the village entrance, Shu Yu boarded the mule cart.
Lu Sanzhu hesitated for a moment, then tried to place his hand on the cart shaft. Seeing that Shu Yu didn't say anything, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief before climbing onto the mule cart.
Compared to his previous ease and comfort, Lu Sanzhu was now extremely cautious and obedient, shrinking into the side of the carriage shaft, not even daring to speak to the driver.
Until Shu Yu instructed the driver, "Go to Wenlan Town."
Lu Sanzhu was startled and turned around abruptly, exclaiming through the carriage curtain, "You're going to town? You're looking for... you..." He glanced at the driver beside him, swallowed the "Yu family" that was about to come up with, and then asked in a low voice, "Er Ya, what exactly do you want to do?"
He had already told her that Master Yu and the county magistrate were on good terms. Er Ya was able to break into the Ruan family and smash their house up, but she couldn't even get into the Yu family's house. Even if she was good at martial arts, the Yu family had plenty of thugs, and she would definitely be arrested.
